The Chief Executive Officer of Charger Group Limited, producers of Happy Man Bitters, Emmanuel Bortey Borketey, has urged young entrepreneurs to remain disciplined, patient and consistent in building their businesses, cautioning that success may not come quickly or attract immediate support from others.
He said aspiring business owners should not allow limited resources, slow progress or doubts from people around them to discourage them from pursuing their ambitions.
In a message directed at young entrepreneurs on his social media, Mr. Borketey said building a successful business required more than having a promising idea, stressing the importance of learning, building useful relationships and remaining committed to personal and professional growth.
“Every successful business starts with an idea, but it takes discipline, patience, courage and consistency to turn that idea into something meaningful,” he said.
He encouraged young people to focus on opportunities within their reach instead of spending their time wishing for the resources and advantages available to others.
According to him, entrepreneurs must be willing to learn new skills, adapt to changing circumstances and take deliberate steps towards achieving their goals, even when their beginnings are uncertain.
“Your beginning does not have to be perfect, but your commitment to growth must be intentional,” he said.
Urging young people to take the next step
Mr. Borketey acknowledged that the entrepreneurial journey could be difficult, particularly when resources are limited and the people expected to provide support do not immediately understand a business owner’s vision.
He urged young entrepreneurs to keep learning from their experiences and remain focused on the progress they could make with the resources available to them.
He said young people did not need to have every aspect of their future figured out before taking action, encouraging them to make practical decisions and build their businesses gradually.
“Keep building. Keep learning. Your future is worth the effort,” he said.
From Happy Man Bitters to a diversified business
Mr. Borketey is the founder and head of Charger Limited, a Ghanaian company established in 2012 that began with the production and marketing of Happy Man Bitters, an alcoholic herbal bitters beverage.
The company has since expanded into other beverage products and haulage services.
Happy Man Bitters has become the company’s flagship brand, while its wider business portfolio includes other drinks and Charger Transport, which provides haulage services for construction materials.
The company has also supported community and social initiatives through activities including sports competitions and the Happy Man Foundation, which was launched in 2022 to support vulnerable and less-privileged people.
